SSE Airtricity League Premier Division side Waterford will travel to Skerries Town with all fixtures set to be played on the week-ending August 12.

With cup sponsors, the Irish Daily Mail, set to award a €2000 prize fund to the last non-league club left in the competition, there was two all non-league ties with Dublin Bus set to host CIE Ranch and Leeds set to travel to Maynooth University Town.
